High quality in welding is crucial, which means quality and safety standards must be closely followed to ensure the integrity of a welded construction. Not all defects are visible then x-ray inspection is often the best and most efficient choice in terms of quality assessment. Balteau NDT has a huge experience and the largest choice in terms of products for all welding applications. Most common defects that can be found through x-ray inspection are: Porosity, Cracks, Cavities/holes, Lack of fusion, Shrinkage, Etc.

The aeronautic and aerospace industry is a highly regulated sector requiring particular caution for quality control following international standards. Balteau NDT is a trustworthy partner and can cover almost every aspect of this industry by having portable, mobile, stationary generators & real time systems. From a tailor-made system to the simplest component, from research to development, from manufacturing to installation, we are the answer to your needs.

Through our wide range of products and the different applications already realized, Balteau NDT acquired a large experience in this industry. Our knowledge is not limited to the x-ray generators manufacturing but includes also the design of complete standard and/or customized Real Time Systems adapted to your specific needs.

There are a lot of different applications found in this industry such as, ammunition/weapon manufacturing, airplane maintenance, mine-clearing inspection, equipment quality assessment, etc.

With such a wide spectrum of applications, most Balteau NDT products can be used but also specific systems are often designed by our engineering teams to meet the requirements of a particular application.

As sometimes it can be complicated to find which product would fit best with the application, don’t hesitate to contact our highly qualified sales department for more details.

The oil & gas industry includes a lot of different applications, including the inspection of pipeline (crawler), tanks, pressure vessels, refineries, power plants, etc. Balteau is and has always been very involved in this industry, manufacturing and delivering equipment that are highly efficient and reliable such as the Baltospot GFC series for pipeline inspections, made to be installed on most mechanical carriers such as JME Advanced Inspection Systems, our biggest partner for the pipeline industry.

To ensure quality of a casting part, it needs to be inspected using non-destructive testing techniques, radiographic testing being the most common one.

Balteau NDT equipment has a long history of being used for the inspection of casting parts, and most of our product ranges are fit for purpose such as Baltospot, Baltograh and Real Time Systems (Baltomatic), depending on the specific application.

Most common defects that can be found through x-ray inspection are: Porosity, Cracks, Cavities/holes, Shrinkage, Etc.

In the industry of shipyard manufacturing and other floating vessels, a lot of the work will include welding. Therefore x-ray inspection must be performed to ensure the quality of the welds. Not only for manufacturing applications, X-ray equipment can also be used for ship maintenance.

When power is needed to penetrate thick welds, our Baltograph Mobile & Stationary equipment is the best option. For medium to low thicknesses, portable equipment (Baltospot) can be used.

Most common defects that can be found through x-ray inspection are: Cracks, Gas inclusion, Undercut, Etc.

As passengers transport industry, train parts must be inspected for quality assessment to ensure a high manufacturing standards but also to perform periodic maintenance and service to avoid significant consequences (human and/or financial) in case of failures. For instance, a common application will be the inspection & maintenance of bogies to detect weld defects.

Thanks to radiography and radioscopy, museums, restorers and experts have a perfect tool to understand our heritage better. Many analyses can be made such as authenticate a piece of art, detect fraud, identify damages, identify the time of creation and the restorations done along the years. Radiography has been used by art professional for years in order to get various and precious information but the new equipment and technologies available are even more efficient and user friendly. The deepest and hidden secrets of art are now visible.

Radiography is adapted to the inspection of many different art objects such as statues, paintings, relics, mummies, archeological material, etc. and many different types of material such as wood, metal, canvas, bronze, etc. Check out our case stories!

In research centers and universities, x-ray equipment can be a useful tool for development validations. It is also very important in the development of new technologies able to face new challenges with for example the creation of new hybrid plant species capable to face harsh living environments. Applications can be found in many different areas such as bio-medical research, biological research, geological and wood technology research, material structures and homogeneity inspections, material durability/modification/preservation, etc. Not only for research, Balteau NDT equipment are also used for training purposes such as welding training centers.
